or was there more to discuss? 15:08:12 We've had a little more discussion on this, but I don't think we're anywhere close to a proposal we can vote on. 15:08:24 There was a new proposal 15:08:26 there is a new proposal to prevent it by default 15:08:28 There was the proposal for turning on the no new branches via git push by degfault 15:08:46 we could have both 15:08:47 ah, right. 15:08:58 nirik: do you know if there is an easy way to get pagure to do that for all projects? 15:09:08 or would that be a feature request? 15:09:10 bowlofeggs: There's not, from what I saw :-( 15:09:15 not off hand, but we could possibly script things or poke the db 15:09:22 bowlofeggs: I think it would take an RFE to add it to the API. 15:09:28 well we'd also need it to do that for new repos too 15:09:51 i'm +1 to the idea, but without an implementation it's not gonna happen 15:09:56 would be good to file a RFE and get pingou's input 15:10:14 do we need to keep the ticket, though? 15:10:22 i don't think we need a ticket 15:10:23 we could vote on whether we're fine with the changes 15:10:46 whether and when someone implements it, that's another thing 15:10:52 sure 15:10:52 I don't think we were asked 15:11:14 well i'm +1 to pagure defaulting to disallowing git pushing new branches, if pagure wants to add that feature 15:11:24 bowlofeggs: +1 15:11:27 As am I 15:11:27 so am I, +1 15:11:32 +1 here as well... 15:11:37 +1 15:11:44 would avoid the 'mistaken' ones 15:11:52 +1 15:12:06 what about private-prefixed branches? 15:12:22 not sure if they make sense in dist-git, though 15:12:32 contyk: people can use forks 15:12:33 contyk: One can always disable this, and then have private branches as much as they want. 15:12:38 bowlofeggs: right 15:12:49 and that 15:12:52 never mind then :) 15:13:08 you can even grant people access to your fork if you want to collaborate on something 15:13:59 Proposal: FESCo is OK with having pagure default to disallowing git pushing to new branches, if pagure wants to add that feature 15:14:19 still +1 15:14:23 +1 15:14:23 +1 15:14:33 can we make it clear this is about pagure over dist-git? 15:14:44 contyk: Sure :-) 15:14:55 Updated Proposal: FESCo is OK with having pagure over dist-git default to disallowing git pushing to new branches, if pagure wants to add that feature 15:15:02 +1 15:15:06 +1 15:15:07 (and for the record, I'm +1 to the proposal) 15:15:22 no need to say that anymore 15:15:22 jsmith: +1 15:15:31 +1 15:16:05 #agreed #2013 FESCo is OK with having pagure over dist-git default to disallowing git pushing to new branches, if pagure wants to add that feature (+1:7,0:0,-1:0) 15:16:23 #topic New business 15:16:36 #topic #2015 Preclusion of Firefox automatic download of OpenH264 (#1359) may have been violated at some point 15:16:36 .fesco 2015 15:16:36 https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2015 15:16:38 jsmith: Issue #2015: Preclusion of Firefox automatic download of OpenH264 (#1359) may have been violated at some point - fesco - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2015 15:16:58 i don't think we need to take any action on this one 15:17:01 Another one where I'm not sure what FESCo is being asked to do here, but it's something we should be aware of 15:17:04 and am not sure why it was filed 15:17:28 I'm assuming to make us aware of the situation 15:17:33 yeah. 15:17:50 Sure, though it seems the maintainer is on the issue already 15:17:53 yeah, seems so 15:17:55 Agreed. 15:18:04 Proposal: close the ticket 15:18:07 +1 15:18:16 +1 15:18:17 +1 15:18:20 +1 15:18:26 +1 15:19:55 #agreed #2015 Close the ticket. (+1:5,+0:0,-1:0) 15:20:13 #topic #2016 F29 – rebase of dnf, libdnf, dnf-plugins-core, dnf-plugins-extras 15:20:14 .fesco 2016 15:20:14 https://pagure.io/fesco/2016 15:20:16 jsmith: Issue #2016: F29 – rebase of dnf, libdnf, dnf-plugins-core, dnf-plugins-extras - fesco - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2016 15:20:37 i would like more info on this one before making a decision 15:20:38 I'm still not clear on the reason that a rebase is needed 15:20:41 proposal: wait a week 15:20:49 I'm fine with waiting on this one... 15:21:03 is the update set for autokarma? 15:21:05 ack, me too 15:21:08 Well, it's called a "rebase", but it's really mostly a bunch of bugfix commmit.s 15:21:39 supposedly :) 15:22:11 Right, from the ticket, it doesn't seem to qualify as a "rebase". I am not sure why we are being asked. It seems if it is just bug fixes, they would not ask. Is something else lurking? 15:22:11 I wouldn't make a big thing out of this. It's nice that jmracek filed the ticket, but I think it'd be entirely within the update guidelines to push it without the ticket. 15:22:12 as a packager I wouldn't be asking FESCo to ack my bugfix update 15:22:19 so I'd expect it is a bit more than that 15:22:41 It is a bit more than that, it adds a new plugin. 15:22:53 is the plugin installed/enabled by default? 15:23:12 It needs to be invoked expicitly by name, iiuc 15:23:12 but this might also be erroring on the side of caution due to the last rebase... 15:23:34 Ahh, didn't think of that 15:24:06 ``dnf repodiff []`` 15:24:27 So that seems very low risk 15:24:28 so if it's mostly a bugfix release, fully backwards compatible, I don't see a reason to block this 15:24:49 any bugs should be caught in the standard bodhi process 15:25:03 meaning the new plugin. Bug fixes can always introduce new bugs 15:25:13 of course 15:25:34 i would still like to know why we are being asked before making a decision 15:25:41 bowlofeggs: Me too... 15:26:09 there is a -1 on the update, but there's an answer from maintainers as well 15:26:56 proposal: set karma threshold to +12 (it's +8 currently) and allow the update to proceed 15:27:47 i don't want to approve or disapprove the update without answers to our questions on the ticket 15:27:53 bowlofeggs: +1 15:28:21 so i'm -1 to that proposal for now 15:28:36 Alternate proposal: Wait for answers to our questions in the ticket, and vote in the ticket before next week's meeting if possible 15:28:39 proposal: hold update until questions are answered in ticket, then allow to stable 15:28:51 nirik: jinx! 15:29:09 jsmith: +1 15:29:10 are any of the bugs that this update is fixing critical? 15:29:17 in whatever definition of that word 15:29:31 I wouldn't want to delay major bugfixes 15:30:30 0 0 #1066867 [RFE] [api] Support package changelog. 15:30:30 0 0 #1541832 Inconsistent return values 15:30:30 0 0 #1557340 config-manager --add-repo created a non-valid repo id 15:30:30 0 0 #1595917 BaseConfig __getattr__ "cleverness" makes it unexpectedly impossible to mutate config values that appear to be lists in dnf 3+ 15:30:33 0 0 #1615164 [abrt] python3-dnf: configure(): __init__.py:841:configure:dnf.cli.CliError: None 15:30:36 0 0 #1636480 dnf-automatic timer files: Incorrect dependency WantedBy=basic.target causing ordering cycle for systemd 15:30:39 0 0 #1637148 dnf doesn't resolve variables in mirrorlists 15:30:42 0 0 #1638689 dnf system-upgrade errors when excluding weak dependencies 15:30:45 0 0 #1639998 dnf 4 output changes 15:30:47 0 0 #1642126 libdnf crashes when displaying errors preventing a package from being updated 15:30:50 0 0 #1643676 dnf-plugin-versionlock not accept package-spec string from versionlock.list 15:30:53 0 0 #1644653 dnf duplicates "installed" line 15:30:56 0 0 #1647144 "TransactionItem state is not set" / "TransactionItem not found for key" error when RPM db contains duplicate entries for a package 15:30:59 0 0 #1648649 dnf reposync with --quiet crashes 15:31:01 0 0 #1649284 Package.remote_location fails with AttributeError when using repository with baseurl 15:31:04 1636480 is unpleasant 15:31:23 #1642126 sounds bad as well 15:31:47 But OK, I think voting in the ticket is enough. A few days more won't make a difference. 15:31:58 So I withdraw my proposal, and say +1 to jsmith 15:32:11 (I'm +1 to my proposal too) 15:32:23 +1 15:32:23 jsmith: +1 15:32:51 jsmith: +1 15:33:56 jsmith: +1 15:34:05 #agreed #2016 Wait for answers to our questions in the tickets, and try to vote in the ticket before our next meeting if possible (+1:6,+0:0,-1:0) 15:34:12 OK, one last one... 15:34:26 There's one that doesn't yet have a ticket (due to a wiki gremlin) 15:34:41 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GnuPG2_as_default_GPG_implementation 15:35:25 I can't +1 this enough 15:35:26 #topic https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GnuPG2_as_default_GPG_implementation 15:35:38 jsmith: doesn't bcotton usually give it a week on devel list before filing a fesco ticket? 15:35:45 IIRC, there were some command line uses that gpg2 didn't support, and using gpg was required 15:35:52 bowlofeggs: there already was a week 15:35:55 yes, that's the policy. i just posted it to the list this morning 15:36:01 * nirik doesn't recall seeing it on the list 15:36:10 I'm generally leaning towards +1, but I would lean towards making this a system-wide change, considering the broad impact of this change 15:36:26 bcotton: oh, sorry, I misunderstood then 15:36:31 i think we should give it the week on devel list to stew and vote on the ticket after bcotton files 15:36:40 bowlofeggs: That works for me 15:36:43 (but i am +1 at this point ☺) 15:36:50 i agree with bowlofeggs 15:36:56 bowlofeggs: +1 15:37:07 bowlofeggs: +1 15:37:14 (I'm +1 too, but prefer to follow the usual process.) 15:37:24 i'm trying to figure out why the wiki didn't include it in the category page correctly, but there's nothing obviously wrong 15:37:42 do we know what other distros do here? would it make us very different or bring closer together? 15:38:21 (meaning /usr/bin/gpg being gpg2) 15:38:21 bcotton: there's some confusion whether this is "system wide" 15:38:45 It's in Category:SystemWideChange, but the text indicated otherwise 15:39:36 "This change will bring Fedora in line with other major distributions, users will get consistent experience between distributions and the naive expectation that "gpg" binary is the latest and greatest implementation of GnuPG", I'll just trust this bit 15:39:42 contyk: according to the change author, this will make us more consistent with other distros 15:40:42 zbyszek: are you referring to the "list of deliverables" text? that's the only inconsistency i see 15:41:34 bcotton: yes 15:42:51 so +1 to bowlofeggs 15:42:59 Proposal: Wait another week for discussion and clarification on scope 15:43:04 jsmith: +1 15:43:06 +1 15:43:10 +1 15:43:12 +1 15:43:17 +1 15:43:43 +1 15:43:47 ok, i'll clarify with the change owners 15:44:13 #agreed Wait a week for discussion and clarification on GnuPG2 as default GPG implementation 15:44:23 #topic Next week's chair 15:44:28 #undo 15:44:28 Removing item from minutes: 15:44:31 #undo 15:44:31 Removing item from minutes: AGREED by jsmith at 15:44:13 : Wait a week for discussion and clarification on GnuPG2 as default GPG implementation 15:44:46 #agreed Wait a week for discussion and clarification on GnuPG2 as default GPG implementation (+1:6,+0:0,-1:0) 15:44:48 What about "ursa major"? 15:45:14 I was also going to ask 15:45:27 but it seems we could continue the discussion in the ticket for another week 15:45:55 It seems there's still a lot of discussion happening 15:46:49 It's only happening on Mondays, but I agree that it's a lot of it then ;) 15:46:51 * nirik notes epel could really use it, but I guess I should add that tot he ticket 15:47:20 +1 to continuing the discussion in the ticket 15:47:43 nirik: Please do :-) 15:48:11 I'm +1 to continuing in the ticket 15:50:24 +1 to continuing in ticket 15:50:52 yeah 15:51:00 +1 15:51:44 #agreed Continue the discussion on ticket #2003 (Ursa Major) in the ticket (+5:0,+0:0,-1:0) 15:51:48 #topic Next week's chair 15:52:21 * contyk can do it 15:53:28 OK, thanks contyk 15:53:39 #action contyk to chair next week's meeting 15:53:45 #topic Open Floor 15:54:07 Nominations for the open FESCo seats are still open, if I recall 15:54:38 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Development/SteeringCommittee/Nominations 15:54:58 Please nominate yourself if you have an interest, or nominate a friend if you think they'd do a good job 15:55:12 bugzilla 5 upgrade is still scheduled for next week (as far as I know). 15:56:29 nirik: That's an approximately 12-hour outage if I remember correctly, right? 15:56:34 yeah. 15:57:06 starting at 00:00UTC sunday in the US... so back monday morning sometime 15:57:51 Cool. 15:58:12 nirik: i've heard that story like 3 times now ☺ 15:58:17 If there's nothing else for the open floor, I'll end the meeting in a minute... 15:58:23 buzilla 5 is a legend to me now 15:58:29 bowlofeggs: But it's a good story :-) 15:58:33 haha yeah 15:58:44 * jsmith does not envy the people doing the upgrade 15:58:54 the ballad of bugzilla 5 15:59:40 #endmeeting
